The monk pays with a twenty, which the vendor pockets.

“Where’s my change?”

“Change comes from within.”

Punching up isn’t bullying.

I’ve heard that’s a thing - people spend the morning in church being told that they’re better than everyone else and then they carry that attitude with them when they go out to eat after church. It takes them a few hours to sober up and remember how to human.

My BYD has a decent mix. It has a volume knob on the steering wheel which you can press to mute, and a previous/next button.

If you want to mess with your playlist though, you use the touchscreen. You’re not supposed to do that sort of thing while driving.

Bonus points if they complained about all the foreigners (French people) in Paris.

“Hey, here’s a useful thing that I recommend to people: <your work>”

It’s basically a compliment

You don’t seem to have an Nvidia Vulkan driver installed.

Your system can see the Intel and Nvidia GPUs, but it only sees an Intel Vulkan device and a software emulation device (llvmpipe).

Proton needs Vulkan for graphics to work.

No, I mean that if lots of developers are using Denuvo wrong, it’s Denuvo’s fault for being too difficult to use correctly or not providing enough support to developers.

Even if it’s the developers using it wrong, if lots of developers are doing that then it’s a fault with Denuvo.

If one car hits something, it’s a problem with that car. If lots of cars keep hitting something, it’s a problem with the road.

Okay, but if lots of games are doing it wrong, it’s still Denuvo’s fault.

IIRC there is actually some benefit to having a low gear and a high gear, because the electric motor works at any speed but can’t give the best power output if it’s too slow or too fast.

The thread is great.

Tentacles dropped out of the top 25 for the first time. Times are a changin

“TOMBOYS PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE” - yesssss we HEAR you 😜

I remember hearing during lockdown that sales of business pants had tanked, but sales of business shirts hadn’t.

It was originally one computer that everyone connected to, it wasn’t a fleet of separate computers like Windows PCs.

If you believe it hasn’t occurred to them that they won’t have to pay wages any more, I have a bridge to sell you.

12% of humans believe we aren’t apes

All humans are apes, those people more so than most.

Just because you really enjoy golf doesn’t mean you want every movie to have a half-assed awkward golf game stuffed into it.

The data-driven optimize by numbers approach that works in their logistics or data center businesses produces bland slop when applied to entertainment.

Ironically, the negative signal of Amazon’s consistent failures in this area won’t be considered by the algorithms and focus groups the next time.

It’s a rainforest, I think.

A lot of writers apparently have no idea how to write interesting female characters. Some of the pushback from viewers / readers to increasing the number of female characters isn’t about the characters being female, it’s about them being bad characters. Boring, annoying, quippy, etc.

Nobody wants to admit that their movie flopped because it wasn’t very good, so they blame sexism. Or piracy, that one’s always popular.
